On the Bowery Blu-ray, Video Quality

  4.5 of 5

Restored by the Cineteca di Bologna, On the Bowery arrives in a 1080p, AVC-encoded presentation with deep blacks and such extraordinary clarity that it's almost painful to look at. The fine delineations of grays, whites and black provide depth to the image in a way that makes the film seem almost new, even as it's clear from the vehicles, streets and clothing that the scenes are from a bygone era. Here and there, a vertical scratch betrays the age of the negative, but most such flaws have been removed in the restoration. Film grain is present if you look for it, but it's extremely fine; this was still an era when cameramen knew how to shoot in black-and-white, and labs knew how to process it. In this presentation, there is no escaping the battered faces of the men and women depicted in On the Bowery. If you watch the film, you will see them up close and personal.

A similar evaluation applies to the contemporary portions of Good Times, Wonderful Times, which was also restored by the Cineteca di Bologna and is also presented in a 1080p, AVC-encoded Blu-ray. The Sixties clothing and hairstyles (both the good and the bad) are fully on display, and the quality of the presentation creates a sharp visual contrast with the battered and often blurry newsreel-quality of the war footage. (But not blurry enough; the post-Hiroshima images could easily give someone nightmares.) Rogosin spent several years traveling around the world gathering this footage, and presumably the restoration team made the best of it they could.


On the Bowery Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  3.0 of 5

Both films feature their original mono tracks presented as PCM 2.0. Both tracks have acceptable fidelity, considering their age and budget, but neither has a wide dynamic range. Dialogue is clear in both of them. The distinctive score composed by Charles Mills for On the Bowery plays with haunting clarity. The sound editing for Good Times, Wonderful Times (by Stephen Dalby, who also worked on Alfie and Repulsion) is more elaborate, contrasting a cheesy party tune with ominous percussion to underscore the war footage. The PCM track's bass extension was sufficient to engage my subwoofer when the percussion kicked in, which made the effect that much more unsettling.
